shot-list（拍摄清单）

Shot List Generator

Parse screenplays, collaboratively determine shots, and generate production-ready PDF shot lists.

Workflow Overview

1. Parse Script → Extract scenes, locations, characters, action
2. Collaborate → Discuss shot choices scene-by-scene with user
3. Generate PDF → Create professional, printable shot list

Step 1: Parse the Script

Support formats: .fountain, .fdx, .txt, .pdf, .docx

Scene Extraction Pattern

Extract from script:

• Scene number (auto-generate if missing)
• Scene heading (INT./EXT., location, time)
• Characters in scene
• Key action beats (story moments needing coverage)
• Page/timing estimate

Fountain/Text Parsing

import re

def parse_screenplay(text):
    """Extract scenes from screenplay text."""
    scenes = []
    scene_pattern = r'^((?:INT\.|EXT\.|INT\./EXT\.|I/E\.)\s+.+)$'

    lines = text.split('\n')
    current_scene = None
    scene_num = 0

    for i, line in enumerate(lines):
        line = line.strip()
        if re.match(scene_pattern, line, re.IGNORECASE):
            if current_scene:
                scenes.append(current_scene)
            scene_num += 1
            current_scene = {
                'number': scene_num,
                'heading': line,
                'characters': set(),
                'action_beats': [],
                'content': []
            }
        elif current_scene:
            current_scene['content'].append(line)
            if line.isupper() and len(line) > 1 and len(line) < 40:
                if not any(t in line for t in ['CUT TO', 'FADE', 'DISSOLVE']):
                    current_scene['characters'].add(line.split('(')[0].strip())

    if current_scene:
        scenes.append(current_scene)

    for s in scenes:
        s['characters'] = list(s['characters'])

    return scenes

Step 2: Collaborative Shot Planning

After parsing, present scenes and discuss coverage. For each scene ask:

1. What's the emotional arc? (Drives framing choices)
2. Who has focus? (Determines coverage priority)
3. Key moments? (Beats requiring specific shots)
4. Practical constraints? (Location, equipment, time)
5. Visual style reference? (Film/show inspiration)

Shot Type Reference

Camera Movement Reference

Angle Reference

Step 3: Building Shot Entries

shot_entry = {
    'scene': 1,
    'shot': 'A',
    'setup': 1,
    'shot_type': 'MS',
    'framing': 'Medium on Sarah',
    'angle': 'Eye Level',
    'movement': 'STATIC',
    'lens': '50mm',
    'description': 'Sarah enters, sees the letter',
    'characters': ['SARAH'],
    'notes': 'Practical window light'
}

Coverage Pattern

Master → Medium → Close-ups → Inserts

Step 4: Generate PDF

Use scripts/generate_shot_list_pdf.py for professional output.

PDF Columns

Output to /mnt/user-data/outputs/shot_list_{project}.pdf
